Extreme Cold Weather a Survival Test for Overwintering Birds

Winter is no fun for birds, despite the cheery note of a Carolina Wren. On this week's Bird Report, Vern Laux discusses the stresses birds face this time of year, and gives tips for helping birds survive. Consider a heated birdbath, keep the food coming - and maybe you'll be rewarded with a sighting of an Eastern Bluebird!

This week's Bird Report is a rebroadcast.  It originally aired on January 9, 2013.
